Movie Description

Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a 1984 dramatic fantasy film starring Miles O'Keeffe, Trevor Howard, Lila Kedrova, Cyrielle Clair, Leigh Lawson, Peter Cushing, and Sean Connery. The film is loosely based on the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, written in the late 14th century, but the narrative differs substantially. This was the second time director Stephen Weeks had adapted the traditional tale into a movie. His first try was Gawain and the Green Knight, starring singer Murray Head, and released in 1973.
